What are the common causes for female contributing to infertility in Kerala?
The reasons of female infertility may be due to failure to ovulate, obstruction to fallopian tube, infections such as pelvic inflammatory disease due to tuberculosis or sexually transmitted diseases. In Kerala there is a high incidence of endometriosis. In a study conducted at our Fertility Centre for past 4 years Endometriosis has been found to be cause in 28% of female causes of infertility. The cause of high incidence of endometriosis is not clear but may be due to environmental pollutants like Dioxin caused by burning plastic materials.
